How much would a dealership charge to install this? I have cash in hand ready to throw at my local dinan dealership but I was wondering what installation would cost. (and I'd assume warranty only works if they install it)

Dinan quotes 13.2 hours install time for all P2 components. Hourly dealership charges are generally higher than an indy shop. I think mine's $140, not cheap by any standard. But they're certified and also accountable if anything goes wrong. I wouldn't trust anyone else with these high dollar components on my relatively high dollar car.

I have the same question. Is the warranty maintained only when installed by a certified dinan dealer? Or can I DIY?

I was certain of going with your tune but now seeing BM3 pushing numbers like 446whp 570tq on a dyno jet for the n55 on stock turbos not quite sure anymore.

Apples and oranges. If you add the same meth injection, you can make more power on the Dinan setup as well.

Many Dinan parts, especially those linked to your VIN, require installation by their authorized dealers. The difficult decision, besides initial acquisition, is when something breaks, you may have 3 parties to deal with: your dealer, BMW NA and Dinan. If you have a dealer that has a proven trusted relationship with both Principals, that minimizes the risk. My speculation is that BMW NA considers Dinan a "frenemy"; i.e. Dinan's enhancements are sometimes good for the BMW brand but they don't have that formal cozy relationship that BMW AG and Alpina have.

What is the main difference in the 11.5 hour quote for the M235i vs the 5 hour for the M2?
